Chapter 98 National Treasure
Chapter 98 National Treasure
Su Shen had a great time, and if Commander Lin hadn't come in to lead people, she would have played all night.
Commander Lin's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. When he came in, Su Shen turned his back to the door and didn't even notice.
The blind Xiong opposite her saw it, and trembled with fright, his face turned pale.
Su Shen thought that this person lost too much and couldn't afford to lose: "What are you doing? Betting, didn't you just say boldly that I only have one bellyband left to go out?"
Commander Lin choked for breath, and looked at Xiazi Xiong with murderous intent.
"Miss, whoever said such foul language to you, I cut off his tongue."
Su Shen was stunned for a moment, then turned around, and saw the man who was standing beside him at some point, squinting his mouth: "What, what are you doing here?"
Commander Lin said: "Miss, I'm here to pick you up."
"What time is this? Don't you mean that I will go to you myself?"
"It's the end of the application time. It's time for you to go home. Your parents are waiting for you for dinner."
Speaking of this, Su Shen became angry: "They don't eat with me recently, don't bother me, I'll play for a while."
Commander Lin showed a troubled look.
Everyone in the Lanzhi hall only knew that Su Shen was from an extraordinary background, and she stretched out her hands. They thought she was the lady of a wealthy merchant. After all, this girl behaved too wildly, she really didn't look like a child of an official family, but the current imperial commanders are all respectful to her. This is really...
He and Su Shen struggled to smile at the bald head who had been betting: "Miss Su, you can play the dice tomorrow. It's a big deal to go home and eat. Even if you don't eat with your parents, you can't be hungry, right?"
Everyone echoed: "That's right, it's getting late today, or let's just leave and continue tomorrow."
Regardless of Su Shen's identity, Commander Lin still has to give him face.
Su Shen frowned, but didn't say a word.
Before Commander Lin came over, these people had no intention of ending it at all. He changed his tone as soon as he came, and the meaning could not be more obvious.
This is not going to end, it's clearly throwing her out.I'm afraid that after she leaves, they will continue to have a few more games.
...more annoyed.
She turned her head and said to Luo girl: "What about you?"
Girl Luo didn't feel anything, she seemed a little surprised by Su Shen's sudden mention of herself, but she calmed down in an instant, and said, "Then let's go."
Xiong Xiazi's younger sister couldn't help but said, "Chen Xiaoluo, are you leaving now?"
"Otherwise? What are you going to do here?"
"But..." Before Xiong Xiazi's younger sister could finish speaking, Su Shen grabbed Luo girl and said, "Okay then, let's go."
After saying that, he took Luo girl and left, and when he passed Commander Lin, he gave him a hard look.
Commander Lin was stared at inexplicably, touched his nose, a little at a loss.
After Su Shen left the Lanzhi Hall, Commander Lin's expression became serious. His falcon-like eyes surveyed the people in the room, and said, "No matter what happened to you before, that lady is not someone who has changed your status from you. Those who have arrived, I hope you understand something..."
Su Shen didn't know anything about what he was doing, and when he looked back to see that Commander Lin hadn't followed, he immediately became happy again.
"Little Luoluo, I don't know where you live yet."
"Why do you want to know where I live?"
"Go and play with you."
"..."
Su Shen observed her expression carefully, flattened his mouth, and said in frustration, "Can't you?"
While talking, the two of them had already returned to the small dark room. The old woman stood there, her face was illuminated by a kerosene lamp, her expressionless face moved like a burnt yellow wax figure.
No matter how noisy the inside of the gambling house is, how quiet it is here.
Su Shen felt a chill for no reason, she shivered and stopped talking.
Girl Luo gently held the hand that was pulling her sleeve, the warm and soft touch made Su Shen feel much more stable.
"Don't be afraid." Girl Luo leaned close to Su Shen's ear and whispered to her.
Su Shen blinked, then turned to look at Luo girl, not understanding how the other party could see that she was afraid—although she was indeed taken aback.
The old woman nodded to Miss Luo, and knocked a few abacus beads in the dark. The crisp sound mixed with a faint musty smell made the room very clear.
"Boom--"
The door of the changing room opened, and Maid Luo led Su Shen in.
The two changing women were still there. Seeing them, they stood up from the cushions and went to the cabinet to find clothes for them.
After helping them get dressed, he asked in a low voice, "Miss, check it out, don't lose anything."
Su Shen didn't bring anything out, on the contrary, after this experience, he gained some money, touched the Langhuan jade pendant on his belt, and said, "I didn't lose it."
The woman bowed her body and slowly backed away.
Girl Luo also changed her clothes, and said to Su Shen, "Let's go."
"Ah."
Su Shen didn't see clearly how Girl Luo brought her in, but when she went out, she directly removed the door panel, the sun shone in instantly, and the air was filled with dust.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, the sudden bright light made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Squeak——" something called out at his feet, and then quickly disappeared into the dark corner of the table.
Su Shen was startled, and with a "thud" in his heart, he grabbed Girl Luo's hand tightly, but there was no big movement on his face, and he didn't cry out.
Girl Luo lowered her eyes to look at the hand that was covered with white, then glanced at the corner, and said to Su Shen, "It's just a mouse."
Su Shen was still in shock, and only when she opened her mouth did she realize that her voice was faintly crying. Before that, she had never been frightened: "Why are there still mice..."
Luo girl pursed her lips slightly and smiled: "There are mice in damp and dark places, isn't this common sense?"
"Is that so? Let's go."
She took Luo Yatou's hand and stepped out from the threshold.
Before going out, Luo girl looked back at the counter.The old woman was still standing there, staring at them quietly. The mouse ran up to the counter at some point, with its front paws lying on the kerosene lamp, stealing the lamp oil inside.
The sun was about to set, and the afterglow came through the clouds, dyed with a layer of orange.
The breeze mixed with the fragrance of flowers blew onto Su Shen's face, and her soft hair was gently lifted up. The environment was completely different from that of a gambling house, which made her feel suddenly and inexplicably feeling like she was alive after a catastrophe.
It was strange that she couldn't figure out what it looked like inside the gambling house, and the faces of the people in it suddenly forgot a lot, only the face of her mother-in-law under the kerosene lamp in the small dark room, lingering in her mind.
"Are you waiting here for Commander Lin to come out and take you back?" Luo girl asked her.
Su Shen refused without thinking: "No, I don't want to go back."
Luo girl asked her: "If you don't go home, where are you going?"
"I want to go to your house."
For this eldest lady who wanted to go to her house again and again, Luo girl was very puzzled: "Why do you want to go to my house, my house is not a good place."
Su Shen was dissatisfied: "Little Luoluo lives there, why is it not a good place?"
Girl Luo didn't explain, but just shook her head: "Next time, my parents died early, and... I don't live in my house by myself, so let me treat you to eat."
"Ah..." Su Shen blinked his eyes and said in frustration, "Okay."
There are some things that Luo Yatou doesn't want to tell her. Nine times out of ten, she doesn't consider her a friend. Also, it's normal for someone who has only met twice, not to be friends. Luo Yatou is not like her. There is no one who is not adulterated and has heart-to-heart communication.
Thinking of this, Su Shen is not discouraged, she likes Luo girl and wants to play with her, and she is not in a hurry for this moment.
"What do you want to eat?" Luo girl asked her, her eyes turned to the distance, there is the largest restaurant in the imperial city - Mingyue Tower, the chef told the old and returned imperial chef, that he cooked excellent dishes, and many royal relatives praised him Said to have an official taste.
A young lady like Su Chen should be more used to these things.
"Beggar chicken!" Su Shen said.
"Huh?" Luo girl tilted her head: "Beggar chicken?"
"The one you made last time, I still want to eat it!" If you can't go to Luo girl's house, then the next best thing is to eat beggar chicken.
"It's a bit long, and it's already dark after it's done, can you make it in time?"
"I think it's okay!" Su Shen nodded heavily.
"I don't think so!" A rough male voice suddenly joined the conversation.
Su Shen performed a face-changing act on the spot, she turned around, faced the source of the sound, and said angrily, "Why are you everywhere?"
Commander Lin still said the same thing: "It's time for you to go home, Miss."
"I'll go back after eating! I'm tired of eating all those things at home. You must have heard that I haven't eaten for several days, right? It's rare that I have something I want to eat. Do you still want to stop me?" Su Shen put his hands together Akimbo means "if you don't let me eat, I'll make a small report for you".
Commander Lin, who had indeed heard about it: "..."
"Miss, please don't embarrass me."
Su Shen sneered: "If you have the ability, you knock me unconscious and tie me back." As he spoke, he got entangled in the nearby tree with his hands and feet.
Commander Lin: "..."
Girl Luo: "..."
Commander Lin cupped his hands and said, "I'm offended."
Seeing that this person was coming for real, Su Shen took a deep breath: "How dare you!"
Seeing that the situation was going to be tense, Miss Luo rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Can two sticks of incense be okay?"
Commander Lin really stopped, turned his head to look at Luo girl: "What two sticks of incense?"
"Beggar's Chicken, make it within two sticks of incense, and you can take it home to eat."
"Really?" Su Shen became obviously happy.
It's just two sticks of incense, and it's not impossible, unless it is absolutely necessary, Commander Lin really didn't want to spoil Su Shen's interest, so he agreed after a little thought.
Girl Luo tore Su Shen from the tree and spread her hands: "Give me the money."
Commander Lin frowned.
"Oh." Su Shen handed over all the money he had earned, and directly gave her the money bag, not keeping half of it for himself.
Girl Luo looked around for a while, walked to the stall selling live chickens next to her, looked around a little, and chose a fat hen: "This one, help me kill it by the way."
The stall owner wondered: "We don't care about killing chickens..." Before he finished speaking, a piece of silver was held up in front of him, "...It's not impossible, when will I want it?"
"Kill it now, clean it up, the sooner the better."
Then she walked straight to a restaurant, and when she came out, she was carrying a small cloth bag in her hand.
Commander Lin asked her, "What is this?"
Girl Luo said, "Some fruits and vegetables."
Then she skipped Commander Lin and walked to a scone stand opposite. The scones needed an open fire, and there was an earthen boiler next to it, and the fire was burning vigorously.
"Miss, do you need something..."
Luo girl put a jade hairpin on the table: "Use your boiler, two sticks of incense."
Commander Lin: "..."
Half an hour later, Su Shen really got a freshly baked beggar's chicken.
"It's so good..." Luo girl hugged the mud egg wrapped in cloth, took a deep breath of the smell of the mud, and sighed with satisfaction.
Commander Lin looked at this beggar chicken whose cost was comparable to that of a chicken farm, and he didn't know where to start.
